Aloe Vera Flower Stalk: Remove After Blooming

Pam's pot-bound aloe vera flowered beautifully indoors. Asks what happens to stalk after flowers die.

Flower Stalk Fate

Stalk will wither and die – no more flowers.
Best to cut off completely once flowers spent (unattractive).

General Care

Keep pot-bound, don't change routine – you're doing great!
